LOOK: McDonald's Back in Business on Graham Road

In just three months, the old burger joint was demolished and rebuilt into a modern, fast food restaurant.

They don't make 'em like they used to; and in this case, that's a good thing.  The new Graham Road McDonald's, which opened its doors on Dec. 27, is a nice improvement from its somewhat cramped predecessor. The 5,000-square-foot fast food restaurant is a customer-friendly upgrade, which features a much larger dining room and dual drive-thru lanes for even quicker service, said manager David Girard. The flat screen TVs, large windows and sleek look blend together well, but the biggest advantage of the new location is the 32 additional employees needed to run it.

Sen. Frank LaRose talks about how to create jobs and help businesses

With 2012 under way, lawmakers have returned to Columbus committed to building on the recovery and reform measures of 2011.  Last year saw new, innovative approaches to job creation and a renewed effort to put the ‘Open for Business’ sign back on Ohio's front door.  While Ohio has embarked on a road to recovery, many challenges remain.  I embrace the hard work that is needed as we all strive together, to rebuild our great state.
